Thanks got giving it a go with chitty pics.lol
Mud season started but ice season will be back soon.
Slacker season for me next week, itchy..

I likes my steelheads a lot, but No Unnecessary Travel means no fishing. About 8" on the ground and its still coming about an inch an hour plus blowing to beat the band. May try in the balmy weather we're supposed to have by Friday PM, and I'll join the amateurs Saturday.

I've been trying for some more action type shots.
My fish in shallow water on its side waiting to be unhooked were getting trite
Getting the fish to raise and stay on the surface while lining up and snapping is taking some figuring out.
Lots of shots of water and little else.

Good luck, Clint!

Well what a shatty day with a better ending.  Have not had to fast like that for a long time.  Last ate a piece of toast  and drank a glass of water  at 0500 and by noon I was having trouble concentrating lost my balance a few times and was starting to get a  monster headache.  By 1300 headache was so bad I could barely walk.   Nurse had a heck of a time getting the needle started due to the dehydration.   Staff at this place was great and once the IV started I was feeling a bit better.  They even had a massage therapist give you a massage before the procedure to help calm your nerves.  I was put on a fentanyl  drip and it was GOOOOOOD.   The procedure was quick and the MD was good and it was PAINLESS.      Let me tell you.   The results of the epidural were almost instantaneous.  By the time I was out of my daze the nurse asked me how my arm was.................  almost perfect, no pain for the first time in years. 
Got sick to my stomach on the way home  and took an nap and am now feeling better.
We will see how it lasts.  Light duty tomorrow and then see how it reacts to the hand auger on Sunday.

Clint,
 
Go with someone else and have them drill the holes!  You have a great excuse!
 
2B, I may get over there, but have a lot of prep for Chitown, and have to go into work to use the interweb there for a while.  May see you, but I am very tired, and I've got a very full 3 days coming up, if the predicted weather holds and they can actually get a plane into the air on Monday.  So it may be land of nod til 8 and then a JB Heap for breakfast, and fish later in the day when I get it all done.  Good luck if you go.

Nada dis morning.
Maybe a tail bump but nothing feeling fishy.
Only got to put in about 45 minutes, but that is usually enough time to find something if they're running.
 

Clint glad to hear all went well. Take it easy 

Clint, If that tinge goes away and that itch for Lakers comes , Albany is a cake walk to Laker land.. I'll even go to the hoops game with ya after..

Are you fishing in pa's ecret spot 2bob ?
Thanks for keeping me wondering what coulda been

I knew it, pa moved his secret spot closer to Erie !!
Lol.. Nice fishing

Yep,  all the potential in the world.   They peaked at the first Duke game.

 
Whoops wrong thread

Certainly, when Chartist and the other elites and nobles start occupying the "prime" water, and we are delegated to whatever scraps are left, I will rope every steelhead I catch, and start working to have the limit raised back to three.  I, like the west end charter boat captains, never harvest steelhead!  Right!  Planning to plant a garden again, and the nitrogens be good for the soil!  Can use the eggs, too, to harvest even more ironheads.

Wonder what has become of the Retired Guy lately?  Hopefully just winter fatigue and cabin fever keeping him quiet.
